And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
And they crucified him. Dividing up his clothes, they cast lots to see what each would get.
Matthew 27:35-36
When they had crucified him, they divided up his clothes by casting lots. And sitting down, they kept watch over him there.
Luke 23:34
Jesus said, "Father, forgive them, for they do not know what they are doing." And they divided up his clothes by casting lots.
John 19:23-24
When the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes, dividing them into four shares, one for each of them, with the undergarment remaining. This garment was seamless, woven in one piece from top to bottom.
Let's not tear it," they said to one another. "Let's decide by lot who will get it."
This happened that the scripture might be fulfilled that said,
"They divided my clothes among them
and cast lots for my garment." (Psalm 22:8)
So this is what the soldiers did.
It was nine in the morning when they crucified him. The written notice of the charge against him read: THE KING OF THE JEWS.
Matthew 27:37
Above his head they placed the written charge against him: THIS IS JESUS, THE KING OF THE JEWS.
John 19:19-22
Pilate had a notice prepared and fastened to the cross. It read: JESUS OF NAZARETH, THE KING OF THE JEWS. Many of the Jews read this sign, for the place where Jesus was crucified was near the city, and the sign was written in Aramaic, Latin and Greek. The chief priests of the Jews protested to Pilate, "Do not write 'The king of the Jews,' but that this man claimed to be king of the Jews."
Pilate answered, "What I have written, I have written."
